Bangalore's Spatial Gathering

Summertime Maps.

Maps have the ability to narrate great stories. They convey patterns, trends, and preferences over time. We are always on the lookout for maps that tell us such good stories. This month, in particular, we want to understand our summers in the country through maps. A great story is only as good as how well it is narrated, though. So, we want you to share your stories with us.

Join us on a beautiful summer afternoon in Cubbon Park and bring a map that tells us something – a story – about the summer in India. We are keen on stories on a wide array of topics and issues that relate to the season, and hope for a rich storytelling session.

GeoBLR, started in 2013, is a monthly gathering around mapping, spatial technology, and data.

Working closely with the DataMeet community, GeoBLR engages individuals, organisations and the government in conversations around spatial data problems. The idea of openness is at the center of GeoBLR. Since the inception, GeoBLR has organised thirteen meetups around an array of topics like PIN codes, OpenStreetMap, as well as conversation with field experts. In 2015, GeoBLR aims to further strengthen the OpenStreetMap community in the city.
